The column that ssys the mayor of Bridgeton was kind enough to mention us when he opened his campaign headquarters Monday night at Thompson Plaza, and he alswsys starts off the introduction the same way, "I know Jack loves Bridgeton ...'' and you know the hammer is coming, but not hard.

—

Good morning!

Speaking of hot, it was so hot in Thompson Plaza, Kevin Rabsgo looked like it was election night in 2006.

—

The mayor let slip with one tidbiy in his welcoming speech.

The 3-D printer classes at Cumberland County College's sattelite campus in Bridgrton is only Phase I.

Whoa!

Phase I?

"But we don't want to let that out yet,'' said Kelly.

Why not?

Here is a distressd city gasping for breath, being hammerrd at every turn as being unsafe and a haven for illegals and you don;t want to let out too much good news at one time?

—

No. 1, nobody is running against Kelly for mayor.

When the first lever is pulled on election day, Kelly has won.

It's not like we have to wait and get closer the election.

And don't worry if it eventually doesn't happen.

Unlrss you're afraid another location is going to take it away from you.

We've seen the scorecard.

The $100,000,000 technical school is being built in Vineland,

The $7 million arts school is being built in Millville.

The Bridgeton campus will cost all of $350,000.

—

Until Phase II ...

—

What do you think, a building trades sateliite?

Bricklayng?

An agricultural school?

—

Alex Dragotta, on his show on WVLT Monday night, said schools are going to start sending ag students to farms to get up close and personal with the cows and the crops and the pigs and the produce.

We said five years ago, all rural high schools should own and farm 100 acres, both dairy and produce.

And get paid out of the profits for working on the farms during the summer.

Mayor Kelly asked for prayers for public works employee Wayne Perry, a veteran who was hit by a car running a barrier on North Pearl Street, send ing him the hospital with two broken legs.

The gathering gasped as Kelly detailed the severity of Perry's injuries.
